How to convert 'Structure' ?!

Hi everybody;

I am trying to get feature value out of structure array..

for example:

glcms = graycomatrix(CG,'Offset',[0 1]);

Cont_RGB = graycoprops(glcms,'Contrast');

F=Cont_RGB;

F= Contrast: 0.2546 % i wana to remove word contrast and get the number only!

How can i get the number?

Thank you

If your

Cont_RGB = graycoprops(glcms,'Contrast');

is returning a Cont_RGB which is a structure array, and you want to extract the field named "Contrast" from the first member of that structure array, you would use

Cont_RGB(1).Contrast

and in the cast where the structure array only has a single member (so Cont_RGB(2) does not exist) then you can abbreviate that to

Cont_RGB.Contrast

In the above, the period is part of the syntax.

If Cont_RGB is a structure array, so Cont_RGB(2).Contrast and so on exist, and you are trying to get a vector equivalent to

[Cont_RGB(1).Contrast Cont_RGB(2).Contrast Cont_RGB(3).Contrast ....]

then use

[Cont_RGB.Contrast]

In this, the [] and the period are part of the syntax.

yes, it works thanks alo0o0ot :)

Try

F.Contrast

[Mariam Sheha]

can you tell me what does 'F','contrast' represent

[Walter Roberson]

Cont_RGB = graycoprops(glcms,'Contrast');
Cont_RGB.Contrast

The "." between the variable name and "Contrast" is literal, part of the syntax.

theNumber = F.Contrast;

[Mariam Sheha]

you don't understand my point...

i had already get the result like that

F=

Contrast: 0.2546

% i want to remove word 'contrast' and get the number alone...

I had already reach it by converting structure to cell using function (_struct2cell_)

Then convert cell to matrix using function (cell2mat)

but it's about 200 feature and it's too long to pass it through 2 steps for each...

I wander if their is simple step rather than using two steps?!!

All 3 people answered with the same thing, and you accepted the third response, so I think we all knew what you meant. Hopefully you're now using Walter's answer, and are not doing unnecessary operations like converting to a cell array and then converting the cell array to a matrix. You may find it helpful to read the FAQ: http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#What_is_a_cell_array.3F

Thanks for you all replaying me,

Walter's mentioned his answer,and so i get the point once i read discussion..

yes i do using the method now instead of using useless operation..

Also, Thanks for the doc. it's helpful

Really you are all helpful and creative...:)
